Hohenfels, Germany
On February 11, 2023, Brother Darryle Albert, Thirteenth District First Vice District Representative (HHS Assistant Girls’ Basketball Coach), and Brother Antoine Reed, Thirteenth District Social Action Committee Chairman in support of the chapters Fatherhood and Mentoring and Social Action initiative made a financial donation presentation to the Hohenfels High School girls’ basketball team spring sports program. The chapter donation of $600 was in direct support of providing funding to assist the girls’ basketball team with their trip to play in the Department of Defense Education Activity (DODEA) spring sports EUROS Championship Tournament held in Kaiserslautern, Germany. The objective is to provide continual support of our young people to encourage, uplift and support their social, and emotional wellness through their participation in sporting activities which provide a sense of a return to normalcy after theirs and the world experience of a most recent global pandemic. The brothers of Theta Rho knew it was imperative that the chapter’s focus be of a direct connection to ensuring that student athletes achieve their goals as they adapted to a return to live sporting events and activities. The brothers of Theta Rho recognized that sports is a unifying language for students, the DODEA overseas school system, military connected members, their families, community stakeholders and our German host nation. Most importantly as men of Omega and as fathers, the brothers of Theta Rho recognized the need to reenergize a collective responsibility to engage and encourage All young people by reassuring them that nothing is beyond their reach in life if they believe in themselves and utilize all available support systems at their disposal.
